Radical transparency’ from fired CDC director, Fauci, pharma-funded GOP chair

Radical transparency’ from fired CDC director, Fauci, pharma-funded GOP chair

Susan Monarez still clinging to COVID dogma rejected by Biden CDC director four years ago, that vaccines reduce viral load and hence transmission. Rand Paul planning Fauci subpoena after new emails suggest he lied under oath.

Senate health committee chair Bill Cassidy held a hearing Wednesday to demand “radical transparency” at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired its director Susan Monarez, the first director to be confirmed by the Senate, for supposedly admitting she was not “trustworthy.”

But it’s the Louisiana Republican, Monarez and former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci facing radical transparency for their associations, evasions and adherence to long-debunked COVID-19 dogma in the face of a wholesale re-examination of the childhood vaccine schedule under Kennedy.

Former Senate pharmaceutical corruption investigator Paul Thacker previewed the hearing by writing that pharma executives “shower[ed]” Cassidy with campaign cash when he took over the panel and that Cassidy was named among “strategic voices and allies” against Kennedy in purportedly leaked minutes from a vaccine maker lobbying group’s April meeting.

While the Biotechnology Innovation Organization denied producing or agreeing with the “strategy document,” Thacker said “Monarez mirrored BIO’s lobbying strategy” by reportedly calling Cassidy to complain about Kennedy’s demand that she let the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which meets this week, review vaccine harms.

Monarez melded grin and grimace throughout Wednesday’s hearing, especially when Cassidy’s Republican colleagues pressed her for straight answers on the abilities and tradeoffs of COVID vaccines, the necessity of the full schedule for every child starting at one day old, and most surprisingly, the names of the lawyers passing her notes in the room.

For three-and-a-half minutes, Monarez refused to publicly identify her counsel, Abbe Lowell and Mark Zaid, protesting that they were already known to be representing her, under badgering by Sen. Ashley Moody, R-Fla. Co-witness Debra Houry, who protested the firing by resigning as CDC chief medical officer, gave their names when Moody next asked her.

Monarez struggled to explain to Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., why she hired Zaid, whose representation of whistleblowers prompted the first impeachment trial of President Trump. She claimed she didn’t know Zaid was “notorious for his anti-Trump activity,” in Banks’ words, and simply wanted “well-credentialed counsel” to help her understand her firing.

SEN. JIM BANKS: Why did you hire Mark Zaid?

Lowell’s client roster is stacked with Trump’s opponents, including Hunter Biden in tax and gun probes and New York Attorney General Letitia James and former Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook in mortgage fraud probes.

While Lowell and Zaid told Politico their client would repeat “under oath” her Wall Street Journal accusation that Kennedy fired her for not promising to approve whatever his handpicked ACIP members recommended, Chair Cassidy didn’t swear in the witnesses, blaming Ranking Member Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., for denying consent.

That caught the attention of vaccine-injury lawyer Aaron Siri, who vetted claims throughout the hearing on X and has testified twice this year before Wisconsin GOP Sen. Ron Johnson’s Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, on hidden COVID vaccine injuries in May and the public perception of vaccines based on “corruption of science” last week.
